Description: There was a time when TxDOT wasn't directly involved in responding to emergencies or natural disasters. Then came Hurricane Rita and the massive evacuation of the greater Houston area. Since then, the department has taken a variety of roles in responding to a wide range of emergency situations, from clearing roads for first responders after Hurricane Ike, to this year's Super Bowl, to this summer's wildfires. For more on TxDOT's role in responding to statewide emergencies, I spoke with David Casteel, TxDOT's Assistant Executive Director for Field and District Operations.
